That's because the Dutch participants pay 2000 euro per minute to rtl7! And it's paid in advance, so if you pay for airtime on the seventh day and you crash the sixth, well bad luck!Quote:

It basically says that you can follow the rally live on their website. That means live timing and live reports, but not video.Quote:

It's the constant complaining of no coverage that's starting to annoy. It's the era where pretty much everything is either viewable live or with a small delay on the Internet. So if you really want to watch something you usually find it.Quote:

Plus there is the news feed from day one here.
... and...
Plus there is the news feed from day two here.
Its a shame there's no coverage in the UK it would be good if Redbull setup a dedicated channel for the people in the UK to watch it on. Hopefully with a high number of hits they could show that Rallying is still popular in the UK when trying to sell it to a free to view channel.
From iRally: Laola TV broadcasting WRC
Laola TV is now listed on wrc.com as an international broadcasting partner for WRC for Austria and Germany.
According to Wikipedia, the online channel is incorporated under the Sportsman Media Group - which is part of the new WRC promoter, along with Red Bull Media House.
Laola offers live broadcasts from sporting events, and on-demand videos.
The Laola website - Free Sport Live Streams / Videos - is currently listing 3 2013 WRC videos.
Great site, thanks. :)Quote:

To be fair I was expecting a better tv coverage. No live stages, the tv shows are just about the same, only with fewer technologies like simulcam... I'm not sure if it got worse but it didn't got any better.
Have some patience. Wait a few rallies because usually TV productions gets quality-wise better (only exception is when funding is decreased).
Let's make judgements about better or worse at the end of the season, because then we have seen all what they planned to offer us.
If they just match what the IRC (Eurosport) has been doing for the last few years it will be a start ...
As in main thread:
30 min highlights of day 2 in English :
Part 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK9G-LkFzVw
Part 2: WRC 2013 Monte Carlo Day 2 - Part 2/2 - YouTube
Quite right! The first impressions are a bit disappointing though.Quote:

It is without doubt that without Middle Eastern money, the WRC would be in a much poorer spot with Abu Dhabi supporting Citroen and Qatar sponsoring M-Sport.
Has anyone else noticed that there is no coverage listed for the Middle East? Just Sub-Saharan Africa and South African channels listed.

the footage is probably decent, but whoever uploaded the clip to youtube had converted it to around 100kbps :dozey:Quote:

Desperately disappointing to hear Paul King back in the commentary box and still doing the "live" commentary over recorded footage, it really is truly pitiful to listen to.
I think Australia's "Speed HD TV"Quote:
